Can't open one spreadsheet.

I am running Numbers '09 2.3 on an OS X 10.9.2 Mac Book Pro. I can open other spreadsheets but not one that I use fairly often. It says I need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet. But why should I when it was created and has always been opened with this version of Numbers.

Hi Nelle,
If you have allowed automatic updates from App Store, (or if you allowed Update All when you installed OS X 10.9.2) it is likely that you now have Numbers 3.1. Numbers '09 has been moved to a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder. The icon on your Dock continues to point to Numbers '09.
If that document was opened and saved in Numbers 3, it can't now be opened in Numbers '09.
Look in your Applications folder (not the subfolder iWork '09) for Numbers. Drag that icon to your Dock. Both versions can be run at the same time.
Numbers '09 on the left (three column chart).
Numbers 3.1 on the right (four column chart).
If that document opens with Numbers 3.1, you can File > Export > Numbers '09
Regards,
Ian.

I can't open a spreadsheet on numbers

I can't open a spreadsheet on Numbers.

The others spreadsheets opens normally so I think I'll have to start another one...

Help! Have just upgraded my iphone5 to iOS7 and now I can't open my Spreadsheet.

Help: I have just upgraded my iphone5 to iOS7 and now I can't open my Spreadsheets........

That one is typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.) The following document may be of some assistance:
iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes has detected an audio configuration problem

Mail: I can only open one email at a time

Using Mail, I have a very strange phanomenon: I can only open one email at a time. E.g. when writing a new email, I cannot open another email for reference. I need to close and save the new email as a draft before being able to open another one.
It would be great if somebody could help me with this, thanks!

Hi Cocolores,
If you choose File > New Viewer Window from the menu bar in Mail, you can have as many email messages open as you like.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

ITunes tells me "Could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I can locate it and all my other music, but can only open one song at a time. How do I set it to open all my music whenever I want it?

iTunes tells me my song selection: "Could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I can locate it and all my other music, but can only open one song at a time. How do I set it to open all my music whenever I want?

I just spent several hours dealing with this when switching to a new PC. It was extremely frustrating as I knew my files were on my external HD but no matter how many times I copied my old iTunes folder over the files were still missing...because dummy me had forgotten to "unhide folders" on my new PC and my old files were actually stored in a hidden folder created long long ago.
This is how I did it on Windows 7 with iTunes 10
1. Look in iTunes Advanced Preferences to see where iTunes is saving files. (Edit, Preferences, Advanced)
Example: C:/Users/Woildbill/My Music/iTunes/Music
2. Ensure you are able to see hidden files - Control Panel, Folder Option, View, Show Hidden Files
3. Use Your Computer's Search Function to Locate the Missing File (Start, Search, type name of song - I started my search in "My Music" folder but be sure to expand to entire Computer if not found right away)
4. In Search Results, right-click found folder and select properties. This will tell you where the file is actually stored.
5. Use Windows Explorer (right-click start) to navigate to the location of the file. It is likley your other missing files are in the same location.
6. In Windows Explorer, copy the newly located files to the iTumes location from Step 1 and everything should work again.
Hope this helps!

Can't open a spreadsheet. Get message that spreadsheet is too old and needs to be saved with Numbers '09?

HS,
If you recently purchased a new computer, call AppleCare and describe your problem. Others who have done this have received an iWork '09 disk in the mail with which to do the conversion.

When I export my number file in Excel, I can not open the spreadsheet : Invalid Reference, what's wrong ?

When I export my number file in Excel, I can not open the spreadsheet : Invalid Reference, what's wrong ?

"Invalid reference" usually means there is a cell reference in a formula to a cell that does not exist in the document.
In this case, it could mean that your Numbers document uses a feature that is not supported by MS Excel, and because of that, the document cannot be translated into an Excel file.
A more specific answer would require a more detailed description of your Numbers document.

Can't open Numbers spreadsheet on iMac Yosemite

iMac 3.2; 8gb
Yosemite 10.10.2
Numbers 3.5.2 (2118)
When I click on File: Open, I get a complete list of all my spreadsheets but several are greyed out and have the iCloud download symbol next to them. I can't open these spreadsheets and don't know how to start (restart?) the downloading process.
Could someone please explain what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

If I then again select the iCould Drive I assume the documents will be automatically downloaded?
Yes they will, and it has never failed to do so for me. I don't blame you for being concerned though, and I strongly recommend you store backup copies on your local machine before turning off iCloud Drive. To do that you need to be able to access them first though. If you are unable to do that, you have nothing to lose.
Network conditions are unpredictable and it may take some time for the documents to download. Even under ideal conditions it takes a few moments, minimum. If Apple's services become available for whatever reason, as they did a couple of weeks ago, your documents will be irretrievable until they fix that - unless of course they are already stored on your local machine.
There have been several occasions in which iCloud Drive and related document syncing has not performed as well as I would like it to, but the overall trend has been positive. It has yet to instill complete confidence, for the reasons you described.
The Genius Desk supervisor said that there was a problem with the Store's servers and iCloud and that this would probably work when I got the machine back home and connected to my network.
Sounds like wishful thinking on their part. Did it work as they described?

I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

I can not open one more new window of FF by double-clicking on FF icon

I can open only 1 browser window FF
I want to open another.
- I can open by selecting NEW WINDOW from the file menu. It's normal.
- But I can't open by double-clicking on FF icon. The message happens in this case: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
Before double-clicking on FF, I checked processs at Task Manager and just one process "firefox.exe" is running.
I try many ways to troubleshoot this problem such as:
- install FF again
- run safe mode
- Update all add-on
- add new profile in Profile manager and run with new one
- I follow the anwser of post: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/770203
But can't fix this problem.
I'm looking forward to your earliest reply
Thank so much

There is the Free iTube Grabber which can capture almost any audio and/or video stream (it says here) but only works with Intel Macs.
http://itube-grabber.en.softonic.com/mac
Firefox Download Helper is also supposed to work, you have to be logged into YouTube first.
There is also iTubeX which allows you to download videos (Flash, HTML5 and others), .mp3 and .swf files from almost every website as easily as possible:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27604/itubex
Lastly: How to download Flash videos and play them in Quicktime using Perian is explained here:
http://perian.org/#watch
It's the video at the bottom of the page.
Last but not least (as some of the above may not work with Snow Leopard or Lion) there is the 'pwn trick':
For example, the full youtube site for your movie is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC2XIGMI ... e=youtu.be
As soon as the movie starts, pause it and add 'pwn' in front of the youtube part of the url so it looks like this:
http://www.pwnyoutube.com/watch?v=bC2XI ... e=youtu.be
Hit Return and then follow the instructions.

Suddenly I can't open one document in inumbers: "The sheet can't be imported. The document was created with an unsupported application version."

Yesterday I worked on a inumbers document on my mac mini. No problem. 3 hours later I would open the same document on my ipad. It told me that there were 2 versions and I had to choose one (surprisingly bouth had the same time/date). Since then I can't open this document anymore (regardless if iphone, ipad, mac mini): "The sheet can't be imported. The document was created with an unsupported application version." I worked on this document more than 1 year only on my ipad, iphone, imac... how can i get it worked or back? Other documents are still working properly.
Thanks for any hint.

The first part of the warning message was in german, so it's probably not translated as it really appears in englisch:
Massage on IPad and IPhone: "Tabelle kann nicht importiert werden. The document was created with an unsupported application version.
Message on mac mini: ""Verbrauch.numbers" kann nicht geöffnet werden"
What changed since is also, that the mini privew for this document no more exist; it shows just the inumbers icon in the sheet. The other documents around this one appears with preview and can be open, e.g. are working fine.

Can't open one custom page from other custom page after import.

Hi all!
I've created 2 custom pages "EITPersonPG" and "EITPersonMainPG" and imported them to the mds repository using import.bat. I created a function for "EITPersonPG" and added it into menu. I can open my pages from menu directly but when I try open "EITPersonMainPG" from "EITPersonPG" I get this error:
oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException: No data found for region (ibsborlas/oracle/apps/per/eit/webui/EITPersonMainPG).
## Detail 0 ##
Exception:
oracle.adf.mds.MetadataDefException: Unable to find component with absolute reference = ibsborlas/oracle/apps/per/eit/webui/EITPersonMainPG, XML Path = null. Please verify that the reference is valid and the definition of the component exists either on the File System or in the MDS Repository.
I executed "exec jdr_utils.printDocument('/ibsborlas/oracle/apps/per/eit/webui/EITPersonMainPG');" in Sql and it's OK.
I created a function for "EITPersonMainPG" and added it into menu. I can open it.
I can open "OA.jsp?page=ibsborlas/oracle/apps/per/eit/webui/EITPersonMainPG" from menu, but can't open it from "OA.jsp?page=ibsborlas/oracle/apps/per/eit/webui/EITPersonPG".
What must I do so as to open "EITPersonMainPG" from "EITPersonPG"?
Thanks in advance.

I've solved question about bouncing the apache server according to Doc ID: 471763.1 "R12 How To Bounce Apache And Clear HTML Cache In Vision Instance And Have Updated Java Code Class Active"
Note :At R12 level bouncing apache command is different of the one to bounce oacore oc4j engine andothers. An example of situation is : how to make a modification to a JSPand have > > that modification recognized by the OC4J - JSP engine.
So to clarify :
1. In 11i the apache start and stop command , also
bounce the JVM running on JSERV and clear caches by doings as below :To clear the jsp & modplsql caches run this commandrm -Rf $OA_HTML/_pages/*rm -Rf $COMMON_TOP/_pages/*rm -> Rf $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/modplsql/cache/*
2. In R12 the command to stop and start apache only takes action on
Apache web server and not on the OC4J container that executes the JVM.
To bounce the OC4J container there is an specific script:
*$INST_TOP/admin/scripts/adoacorectl.sh*
Therefore when making a modification to a JAVA class in R12 for the
web application, in order to have that change recognized, it is needed to bounce
OC4J using adoacorectl.sh script.
Bouncing oacore OC4J engine may also be needed if you make
modifications to system properties. Example for JTT based
applications: jtt system properties.Thank you Anoop!

Can't Open Old Spreadsheets

I have new version of Numbers (3.01) and can't open my old spreadsheets. Says I need to save them in Numbers '09 format. How do I accomplish this?

It sounds like your spreadsheets are Numbers v1 from iWork '08. Unfortunately, the new versions of the iWork apps cannot open any iWork '08 or earlier files. I suggest that you buy a retail copy of iWork '09 from a third party such as Amazon or eBay & then update to the new iWork apps in the Mac App Store. You might check this link for the iWork '09 trial. I have no idea if it is still available.
If you’ve already purchased the new iWork apps in Mavericks, you can use this trick to get Numbers 2.3. If you still have access to a Mac running Mountain Lion. It must be Mountain Lion or Lion. Snow Leopard won't work. If the iWork '09 apps are installed, compress them & delete the originals. Launch the Mac App Store & click on the 'install' buttons under the iWork apps. You will get a message that you can't install the new version on this Mac but it will offer to download the previous version for you. Voilá, you have the self-contained apps that you can copy to another Mac.

Can't open one of my external libraries.

I have two libraries on my computer an two additional on my external hardrive which is a lacie one. When I try to open one of the external libraries today it's says that my library is used by another program or is unreadable. It also says that I should restart the computer which I have done and there's no change. It also say that I can rebuild the iphot library, which I haven't tried yet. Does anyone know what the problem is? I would be so grateful for any help I could get!
Thanks,
Anna

There may be an open file inside the library, a database or ???. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I lost my only navigation tool bar, so I can only open one window at a time, and can't use google. Help.

I'm not sure what I did, but I right clicked on my google tool bar (which I use since I can't find the Firefox navigation toolbar) and I somehow disabled it. Now I can only use one window at a time, and if I go to a website, I can't go to another without closing my current one so I can go to my homepage, which is google.

If the Menu Bar is hidden then press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).
